R31Nismoid Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 it's outta whack. TRUST ME! Andrew and i, then Nathan and i have been through it... and it was FAR from reading what the speedo was.

NismoR34 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 you probably were looking at the wrong time Nismoid - mine shows up as 98 when the needle on my speedo is 100. I have done this test at least a dozen times in the last year and it always says 98 if I am on 100. Maybe your cars' speed sensor is stuffed...or maybe your looking at the wrong lane reading... :shrugs: It works for me.

Snowman Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Yeah it worked for me the second time (showed 98 when on 100) but the FIRST time when Ash was in the car it showed 87 and we were like WTF?? :confused: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/35232-28th-feb-gor-post-event-photos-and-comments/page/6/#findComment-716932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_L3ThAL Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 yer it messed with me too, i was dead on 100 and it said something like 108 or some bullshit, ive had my speedo checked on a dyno and when my speedo reads 100 its actual speed (also checked myself with my powerFC) is 97 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/35232-28th-feb-gor-post-event-photos-and-comments/page/6/#findComment-717203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NismoR34 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 yeah fair enough, when you are in heaps of traffic its sometimes hard to workout which one is yours! also last time i did mine the car next to me was sitting on the same speed but his registered at 101 or something...oh well. As long as your speedo is under and not over then you are better off! I'd rather my actual speed be like 95 when i am sitting on 100 than say 105, cause you could cop a fine, so to speak Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/35232-28th-feb-gor-post-event-photos-and-comments/page/6/#findComment-717212 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R31Nismoid Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Nope! it dont! I've been in two cars little traffic (read:no cars near us) and it was reading weird! Maybe a bunny rabbit tripped it off or something ? Meh. I dont care. Speed Camera's aint accurate... speed detectors wont be either Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/35232-28th-feb-gor-post-event-photos-and-comments/page/6/#findComment-717873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATGTS-R Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 On the way back it showed I was at 91km/h with speedo at 100. I accelerated to 109 and I was passing everyone. I am sure it is out.

xRHETTx Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 The speed meter thingo was 2 km/h off what my speedo said when i went through on the cruise. I checked my speedo with a handheld gps a few weeks ago and it was always correct give or take 1km/h. So i think my speedo is pretty accurate and that the speed measure thing is pretty accurate too. I think the government should put in a bit of the money theyre making from all these fines into building a few more of these speed measurers, it would be great to be confident that when youre doing 103km/h that ur not going to be booked.
